5 Configuring the Platform#

5.1 Setting up the Mail Server#

Note

The Greenbone Cloud Service uses fixed IP addresses to communicate with the mail server in order to send e-mails to vMSPs. If a firewall is used, it must be configured to allow the following IP addresses:

  • 212.132.76.189

  • 212.132.79.77

  • 212.132.80.117

The mail server that is used for system e-mails can be configured as follows:

  1. Select Mailserver (category Configuration) in the menu panel.

  2. Enter the URL of the mail server in the input box Mailserver (see Fig. 5.1).
